There is a new lander heading to Mars in March of 2016. So why send your name with the rover? Why not? is the better question I think. I truly think this will help boost excitement about our Space Program, and maybe get more kids involved with learning about our planet, our solar system, and our universe.
InSight will was designed to look at the interior of Mars, and continue to see how some of the Rocky Mountains were formed. My name is now on the list of people heading to Mars in 2016, and my wife is adding hers as we speak as well. Make sure you sign up your name on the list here. You have to register before midnight EST on September 8th to make sure you get added. You will even get boarding passes for your very own that you can print, like the ones of me and my wife’s below. This would be great for little ones to take to school to show their friends to say, “hey, my name will be on its way to Mars!”.

What a fun idea! I had no idea that you could do this. I am going to go check it out, send my name and print my boarding pass.
This is so cool! I am totally going to do this!
Awesome, enjoy! Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!
Well that is certainly really cool! I have bought stars before but nothing like this!
Oh this is so cool. I am adding my name right now.
What a cool idea! I remember being able to name a star when I was a kid, but having our name sent to Mars seems so much better!
My wife bought me a star too! Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!
Sounds like fun! I’ll definitely have to check it out with the kids I just know they’d love to do something like this.
This sounds really exciting! I’m always curious about what life there is or isnt on other planets! Your right! Why not do it?
What a fun idea!!! I am going to have to do this with my kids I think they would love it!
This would be such a cool thing to share with my nephew! It’s great that space exploration is making a ‘cool’ comeback. I still remember watching some of the launches as a little girl!
This is so cool! I am glad you shared it, I am going to go check this out further. I think it would be fun!
Thanks for stopping by Brandy, glad you enjoyed it. Have a great day! ~Tom
How much fun! I’m going to have to do this with my son. I know he would get a kick out of having his name sent to Mars!
Awesome to hear! I think it would be fun, and you can print a boarding pass as a keepsake! ~Tom
Okay. First couple of sentences and I was thinking … “Big Deal”! Now, I can’t wait to gather my grandkids together and send our names to Mars!! Cheers!!
I am glad you changed your mind. I hope they enjoy it as much as I did. ~Tom
